If your plans had anything to do with you down there, then just outright tell him in your own cute way. No special words or way is required. If he doesn't already know how that works, then you need to tell him what it's all about without getting medical or clinical. lol! However way you like to call it when it's that time of the month, then tell him in that way. Like. .. when you're with him hanging out like you planned, just casually mentioned that your monthly thing came (or whatever you wanna call it!) since you last made plans so that'll be out for a few days. If he's the grossing out kind, then I guess you better never mention blood around him. Guys that are dating girls and being sexual need to learn all about the way a woman works without blushing or acting stupid. The same goes for birth control, using no condom, precum, pulling out before, etc... and all the things people keep asking on here. If couples are doing grown up stuff they should have no problem talking that way either. But however, try to make it fun and laugh about it.
I have been in the guys situation many of times and usually the conversation just goes "hey I have some bad news... we can't do anything too dirty because I kind of started my period today..." It never bothered me and I was more relieved to have known beforehand.
If you're not comfortable enough with this guy to tell him something as simple and natural as this straight out, you definitely shouldn't be fooling around with him.
And if he isn't mature enough to handle life's natural processes then he certainly isn't mature enough to be fooling around with you.
That said, tell him straight out.
"Sorry babe, now isn't really a good time."
"Oh, I'm on my period now. Let's wait until next week."
"Let's consider this blow job week." <--works every time
But tell him first! Don't let him get carried away first. The earlier he knows the less of a let down it will be and he won't get his expectations up. Plus he might even be mad that you didn't tell him earlier.
i just tell him lol and he knows me well enough that he can kinda predict when its coming. we dry hump with me wearing my panties because I wear pads mostly but when we go swimming ill wear a tampon then we mess around in the shower with my tampon in. or on my first day I'm not too heavy its just spotting he gives me a back massage and we have outer sex from behind with a towel down just in case. the last day is nice for that too. or you focus on him for that week he will love it and pay you back the next week in his own way ;)
If he get's grossed out, find another guy. But if you are attached to him work around it. Oral sex for a few days, how about sex in the shower if he's not too squeamish? He can even give you oral sex if you're wearing a tampon.
However, my wife and I simply lay out a couple towels and proceed with business as normal. She finds sex during her period it to be the best menstrual relief on earth.
i just say, its my time of the month again, we are gonna have to hold off, I've never had a boyfriend that really cared to much, its better that he knows ahead of time rather than find out later.
also, most guys have an idea when we are getting ours so he might have an idea...

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Just tell him "it's a bad time of the month"...tell him he'd rather hear it from you than be surprised while you're fooling around!
If he's around your age he should be mature enough not to be 'grossed out' by something like that.
personally I just say when he goes for the no zone "on mi reds. wait (this many days)"
smile. then give him a blow job/ hand job. s'all good. :D
Tell him your aunt is in town. Your aunt flow. You both should've taken sex ed in school, so he shouldn't be totally grossed out. Give him a blow job or hand job.
Just tell him exactly what you are saying here: that you just found out today, and that of course, wasn't part of the plan. Anyways this is a perfect occasion to use your imagination and do dirty stuff different from penetration.
Just tell him. Don't go into detail about how it feels like a battle royale is occuring in your uterus and that sometimes it really helps to fart to relieve the pressure.
Don't dance around it either and let him find a nasty surprise in your hoo-ha.
We all know what "not today" with a quirky smile means. And if we don't, we need to start teaching euphimisms in sex ed.
Yeah straight to the point works for most guys :)
Oh for pete's sakes, just tell him.
personaly I would understand... why do I keep getting questions that are like 4 months old... I NEVER reply to blogs that are more than a month old...
Some guys are very squeamish about it and some not at all. Just use a euphemism, like, "It's my time"
